Com on Blacks the season has started now.. any voice in this thread plz lol....

P.S Neil how come we dont discuss line ups in our team thread like other teams do?

Fire up for next game boys.

 

[Neil Pickup]

Well, we don't discuss anything... what options do we have? We've very little depth beyond the frontline so what changes can we make to the batting? The bowling's not misfiring at all, but 86 & 102 suggests the finger is pointed at the top and middler order

 

[Mr Mxyzptlk]

The batting is heavily centred around Kearsley and Butler and both are in pretty woeful form, though the latter did start to look good in the last game. That is the real problem IMO. That, and the fact that Josy is misfiring at the top.

could do with maybe slipping an extra batsman in for me, especially away from home, its not like im contributing much with the ball

You've got the third highest Black batting average this season though.

Says it all really, doesn't it?

 

[cbuts]

dont know what to say guys. im trying - spending all day at the nets, trying my best to get back into form, surly some runs can are only just around the corner.

 

[ash chaulk]

if all else fails id like to have my oportunity to play at 1,2,3...

 

[Right arm fast]

at least our second loss wasnt as embarrising as our first one we really need to lift the batting
im thinking nets 6 days a week

 

[kears_falcon_9]

id go 12 days a week in the nets lol anyway like i said in the other thread im sorry for letting the team down with the bat but i think liam has a point the batting is mainly formed around myself and buts and atm with us both in poor from the team is really struggling. I would say after the next 1 or 2 games if we are still struggling then changes need to be made.

 

[Buddhmaster]

Liam, could you find out if my average when opening the batting is higher then when not please. If it is, maybe Ash or I could have a go opening. Our problem in 4d is definetly the problem, but imo, it's only a matter of time. Buts, Kears and Willo are all out of form, but we all know what they can do.

 

[cbuts]

with the hard work we are all putting in, im sure a win is only just around the corner. this is a long season, better to be on a bad streak at the start than the business end. many of has have been to the finals in the last few years, and im sure we will eventually get back there again this season

[Neil Pickup]

So basically, if you get off the mark you're fine. I'll start calling you Marvan.

 

[ash chaulk]

i dont think we need imediate changes to the top order we've only played like 1 FC game.

 

[mikeW]

Another poor loss in one dayers i think it may be time i was dropped have been more of a disadvantage to the team....
